Gems eight and nine

Two another gems to my collection. Both pieces, which I am going to share here, were fired before our Barcelona trip. We had two successive firings in the end of September. I choose two pieces not just in order to join the ranks of The Ten Gem Collection, but also to show something new or different. First piece is another teapot. There is surface, which we call "three bark" and I have rub into this surface black slip glaze. The teapot was then fired in charcoal part of our kiln. The second addition too the collection is chawan. Actually it is first chawan you can see here and I am happy about it. It is wide, summer chawan with simple feldspar glaze. As usually with more glossy glazes it is hard to photograph its real quality. But I have tried anyway...

For more pictures of those new pieces please visit this page. If this "Ten Gem of Ten Kilns" project is new for you then read this post first.

    1. Thanks Renegade! It is rather on bigger side, it can hold around 260ml.
